S K I 0 fe: S LASS OF -IAKVAKy IASS One 01 tl»e greatest influences upon us is literature. Newspapers, magazines, texts and other books all contribute to enriching our lives. The Greek writers created the best known literature of ancient times. Herodotus wrote the first history book which gave us authentic glimpses into the life of ancient Greece. When Socrates taught his ageless philosophies, his words were immortalized in books. Only through the writings of others do we gain the knowledge that links the past to the future. 4

A l V I S DOROTHY NEUSS B.S., M.A. — English For the girls in our family, school teaching seems to strike the right note.” says Mrs. Neuss, who was lx)rn Dccem-lx r 1, in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Her interests have always coincided with her teaching, for she is quite a reader. She has always liked ballet and music, especially symphonic music. (Have we a longhair in our midst?) After graduating from Hattin High, Elmira College and Montclair State Teachers College, where she obtained her B.S. and M.A., she “substituted for a long while” and then became a regular teacher. When she came to Arts, she found it was easy to correlate English with the other arts because of the special music and art opportunities offered here, and, ever since, Mrs. Neuss has found her teaching “very rewarding. JAMES W. LOWRY B.S., M.A. — Science Mr. Lowry calls himself “an old, worn out, broken-down teacher who, even though he has received many outside offers. continues teaching “only because 1 like people so much.” Actually, he is one of the most active, humorous, and enthusiastic individuals on the Arts High staff. He was bom on December 23 in Pennsylvania, and in later years, majored in music at Columbia where, in 1925, he obtained an M.A. At first, though, he thought he would lx? “a chemical engineer, but changed to a medical course, only to find three years were added to the required training!” It was then he decided, with the influence of his college professor. Dr. Stewart, to become a teacher. After graduation, he taught music but “it finally got on my nerves; I couldn’t stand it.” and so he took up high school sciences, which he has continued to the present day. Mr. Lowry has an avid interest in photography and ham radio—in fact his speed in sending Morse code is t x fast even for the Pentagon! When his son was in service, they used to communicate by radio to each other ever) day. Quite ingenious, no?
